22 weeks update

How far along? 22 weeks
Baby size: TW1 is 400g and TW2 is 430g at this week's scan. The difference in size is getting a bit concerning, but hopefully its just one bigger baby than the other, and not a sign of something more serious.
Babies positions: both babies are head down, lying head by head. T1 is lower and curled up on my right hand side, whilst T2 is lying kind of diagonally across my belly (head more on the left hand side with legs on the right hand side)
Total weight gain/loss: current weight is 56.8 kg
Maternity clothes? Wearing maternity pants, tops and normal leggings these days.
Stretch marks? Nothing yet.
Sleep: Sleeping well although my back hurts a bit now. And it feels like it takes ages for me to roll over.
Best moment this week: Water walking and having a float on my tummy. As far as non-baby related stuff - really enjoyed curry club at Little India in Kingsland with the crew and Cinderella (ballet) with the girls last night
Movement: Feeling lots of kicks or little flailing arms, from both inside and outside. And occasionally feel a hard bottom or leg pressed up against my tummy.
Food cravings:  No real cravings at the moment.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing much :)
Have you started to show yet: Yes! No hiding it.
Gender: Uncle Steve has predicted girls, but still anyone's guess at this stage
Symptoms: Need to pee alot. I feel a bit slower in general (physically, not mentally!). Bit achey around back and pelvic area.  But generally feeling great :)
Labor Signs: No signs yet 
Things I miss:  sushi and alchohol. I pass a sushi place every day and it looks and smells so yum.  Drinking as much tea as I want. Sleeping on my belly.
Belly Button in or out? outie. No denying it now.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Looking forward to:  our trip away to Rotorua and resting in the hotel room. And hopefully going for a swim in the heated hotel pool. And maybe even baby sitting little Ollie (Deano’s little boy).
